A lot of cats' milk doesnt come in until a couple days before, but my current foster's milk started to come in a good week before she delivered.

The milk glands run along the cats nipples, imagine a connect the dots. So there will be two sides... you'll notice them filling up and getting mushy


I'd say you are getting close, a week maybe by your description (some people see kittens move two weeks prior); and you might want to think about confining her to one cat-proof room now, so she isnt having the kittens in the rafters, behind the refrigerator, or up on a closet shelf.

Have you noticed her digging around more? Either in her nests or litter box?

I suggest going to your vets office and asking for some info - my cat is having her first litter as well, and they were very helpful. Gave me lots of printed info and answered all my questions.

If it was the mucus plug you saw it should be within the next 12 hours. Good luck!

If you don't get rid of her fleas than the babies will die.
Can you get your hands on any feline advatage?

A bath in any dish soap will do in a pinch, or baby shampoo, or mild shampoo even.

The soap wont kill all the fleas, but keep her submersed in water as long as she'll tolerate, that will force the fleas off her body. It would also help to comb the fleas out.

If you dont get the fleas off the mother, they will get on the kittens and you will have to get them off them as well. They can not live on the kittens long without causing harm to the kits.

Try calling around to a couple vets/no-kill shelters, explain to them that you found a pregnant stray that has fleas and you would like to foster/adopt her, but cant afford flea treatment, perhaps someone will donate the Advantage for this sweet girl.

Good luck!

So you are just going to let her entire litter die? If you can afford to be on the internet and have a computer you can afford to get one dose of advantage from your local vet.

Well please find a no-kill shelter or rescue to take your cat to since you cannot afford her care. A litter of kittens is expensive and will probably die if you can't afford to get rid of the fleas.

i took care of a nursing cat with kittens before, they did have fleas but didnt die, i waited until they got old enough to give them a flea bath
but this was a long time ago
theres not that many fleas on this cat
maybe it wont do much harm.
but im gonna try my hardest to go to a vet

She's a pretty cat. She does look pregnant. I wouldn't have any good estimates about how far along she is or how soon she should have her kittens, but I wish you and kitty good luck.

(Did you manage to get her flea problem resolved?)
